Are you looking for teaching ideas to make your science lessons come alive?

Full of suggestions for exciting practical work to engage children, this book addresses and explains the science behind the experiments, and emphasises the need to engage the learner through minds-on activities.

The detailed subject knowledge helps you grasp key concepts, and there are lots of useful diagrams to illustrate important points. Experiments include:- extracting DNA from a kiwi fruit- capturing rainbows- the chromatography of sweets- removing iron from cornflakes- a plate tectonic jigsawThese practical activities will provide you with ways to ensure your students respond enthusiastically to science, and the book will also help you develop your subject knowledge and ensure you meet your Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) standards.
